JACKSON, MI – About two riders per trip took advantage of a federally funded bus route from select Jackson wards to a Jackson grocery store, costing an average of $53 in federal tax dollars per person.

Frounfelker said the route will be disbanded after such a low turnout, but he said city officials continue to look for ways to have residents within his ward and Robinson's gain access to fresh produce.

"It was always a goal of Michelle (Woods) and me to have our constituents with transportation barriers gain access to quality food," he said. "This federally funded shuttle turned out to not be the correct solution, and has allowed our community to gain actual data that there may not be a transportation barrier as originally perceived."
